1984 Map of Skull Creek

About this map

Skull Creek and its many tributary drainages carve through this corner of Weston County, Wyoming, during a period of active resource exploration in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of named ravines, including Love Canyon, Bolden Canyon, and the curiously titled Watermelon Canyon. These features demonstrate how localized naming conventions often reflected the families or specific events of the early ranching and homesteading era in the high plains.
